1 Transplacental and developmental genotoxicology: complex dynamic of carcinogenesis Aleksandra Fucic, PhD Adviser Institute for Medical Research and Occupational Health, Zagreb, Croatia

3 Carcinogenesis research involves multidisciplinary and international studies using large datasets and fast data exchange.
4 The result is a noosphere with a unique potency to integrate and interpret collected knowledge.
5 Despite invested efforts, cancer incidence is on the rise. It is particularly alarming in children and adolescents!!!
6 Mutation Structural rearrangement of chromosomes Aneuploidy Methylation; reversible Mitogen
7 Intrauterine development and early childhood may be critical for elucidating the cancer aetiology.
8 It seems that all cancers are oestrogen-positive traditional concept of sex hormones has to be changed
9 Xenoestrogens do not follow known genotoxic pathways due to their specific molecular characteristics
10 Estrogen Evolutionary old molecule present in animals and plants endocrine, paracrine agent and neurotransmitter modulates development of organs during intrauterine life via receptors and postnatal maturation (bones) In non-physiological levels it is mutagen, aneugen, demethylating agent it is involved in number of biological pathways - from GABA synthesis in brain to synthesis of membranes in fungi
11 ESTROGEN RECEPTORS Alpha Beta GPR 30
12 Number of chemical agents synthesized by our civilization are estrogen like or have impact on aromatese activity- enzyme that synthetise estrogen.
13 Estrogen-like activity has been described for metals (aluminium, uranium, lead) polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), heterocyclic amines, some pesticides, dioxins, some antiobiotics, arsenic
14 Multiple functions of agents Heavy metals bind to estrogen receptors DNA damage via 1. interference with cellular redox regulation causing oxidative DNA damage or trigger signaling cascade stimulating cell growth;
15 Multiple functions of agents binds to estrogen receptors DNA damage via 1. interference with cellular redox regulation causing oxidative DNA damage or trigger signaling cascade stimulating cell growth; 2. inhibition of major DNA repair systems resulting in genomic instability and accumulation of critical mutations;
16 Multiple functions of agents binds to estrogen receptors DNA damage via 1. interference with cellular redox regulation causing oxidative DNA damage or trigger signaling cascade stimulating cell growth; 2. inhibition of major DNA repair systems resulting in genomic instability and accumulation of critical mutations; 3. deregulation of cell proliferation by induction of signaling pathways or inactivation of growth controls such as tumor suppressor genes
17 Multiple functions of agents binds to estrogen receptors DNA damage via 1. interference with cellular redox regulation causing oxidative DNA damage or trigger signaling cascade stimulating cell growth; 2. inhibition of major DNA repair systems resulting in genomic instability and accumulation of critical mutations; 3. deregulation of cell proliferation by induction of signaling pathways or inactivation of growth controls such as tumor suppressor genes -aneugen -hypomethylation
18 Aromatase inhibitors cotinine fungicides antiepileptic drugs
19 Foetus is transplacentally exposed to: food additives radiochemically contaminated water and air sometimes drugs (antiepileptics, antibiotics, antimycotics)
20 Foetus's detoxification capacity buffers some of genotoxic agents. Target organs for xenobiotics (and genotoxic effects) may be different in mother and the foetus due to a specific stage of developmental physiology and enzyme distribution. This in turn may lead to different levels of clastogenic or aneugenic metabolites or DNA methylation after exposure to the same xenobiotic in the mother and the foetus.
21 Genome damage is result of complex interaction between: maternal and fetal metabolism (hepatic and extrahepatic) fetal developmental stage and pregnancy-related bioacumulation detoxification capacity of the fetus and mother (including endometrium)
22 Epidemiological studies on parental exposure and cancer risk in children are limited. The correlation between cancer in children and occupational exposure of parents was found in a case of parental occupational exposure to pesticides, paternal exposure to motor vehiclerelated occupations, chemical and petroleum industry, glue, nuclear plant (more than 100 msv) and paint, maternal exposure to solvents, professional cooking,
23 Miscarriage incidence the miscarriage incidance in women occupationally exposed to radioisotopes (iodine, chromium, thallium, technetium, thorium) in hospitals is significantly increased in comparison with women occupataionally exposed to X rays showing that health effect of radioisotopes or mixtures (contaminated due to technology of production by lead, tin, nickle) Elements in application for diagnostics is not limited on their radioactivity but also may act as heavy metals or xenoestrogens
24 Correlation of miscarriage rate and follow up by genetical toxicology (Fučić et al., 2008) Cytogenetic Endpoints Referents (No. = 36) X-ray exposed (No. = 170) Study Groups R-isotope exposed (No. = 61) Chromosome aberrations Mean ± SD Mean ± SD Mean ± SD Chromatide 1.71 ± ± ± 1.47 Chromosome 0.15 ± ± 0.82 a 0.63 ± 0.99 a Acentric 0.36 ± ± ± 1.09 Dicentrics ± 0.36 b 0.16 ± 0.36 b

35 Indoor radon Chronic exposure to indoor radon is associated with childhood cancers; correlation coefficient for all cancers 0.78 (p < 0.01), leukemia 0.61 (p< 0.02), brain and spinal 0.62 (p< 0.02), osteosarcoma 0.56 (p< 0.05), melanoma 0.56 (p<0.05)
36 use of bottled water, beverages popular in children and adolesecents. the total body concentration of radionuclides and equivalent doses to red bone marrow are age dependent and it is higher in children, especially in infants for 226 Ra, 210 Pb, 228 Th, 210 Po 226 Ra follows the metabolic pathway of calcium the increased effective dose from mineral water might be even seven time higher in infants and teens than recommended by WHO ( 100 μsv). This may be related to a specific hormonal activity of testosterone and estrogen. highest absorption of 226 Ra is in newborns and in children in age between 13 and 17 years of age high water intake in newborns and children un-nursed infants up to 1 year of age may receive doses up to 0,2 msv/y if their diet is exclusively prepared with mineral water with elevated radon concentrations.
